You are overestimating PPB.

This year, we should be able to get our paper published in the top-tier journal of Chinese Academy of Sciences, right? Let's not allow some low-quality domestic journals to take up the 1st tier quota of botany. Let's save face!

If it is a minor revision, the editorial department is likely to make a decision without much worry. Usually, major revisions need to be sent back to the original reviewer for another review.

I want to ask if DIP is finished after the second hearing.

Brother, have you been hired?

Not bad, luck and strength coexist! However, it is very difficult to be included in this magazine, because there are too many domestic journals occupying the quota.

Friend, what's the current status now? I have been revising for about 10 days, but I am still with the editor.

Give me 40 days for the repair, and on the second day after the repair, with the editor. It has been 20 days and there has been no progress. This is the first time I have encountered this situation. Can I send an email to urge the editor?

There are too few non-OA (open access) ones.

Hello, may I ask how long it will take for the external audit to be delivered?

How to check how many reviewers there are, cannot be found in the mini program.

The efficiency was very high for the first submission to Plant Physiology and Biochemistry. The manuscript was submitted on June 30, with feedback from the editor on July 2, and went under review on July 4. It was returned with minor revisions on August 4, but there were several issues raised by the three reviewers. The revised version was submitted on August 12 and finally accepted on August 20.

Recently, there has also been a change in the editor-in-chief, and now the way articles are obtained has also changed. Given your situation, there is indeed a strong suspicion of manipulation.

How did it all become OA? It's so difficult to find a suitable non-OA journal to submit to now! No wonder my first two submissions were rejected without review. It's very likely they just want to delay until September; based on my experience, both of my articles should have been sent out for review. Fortunately, one of them has been published in a journal of equivalent level, and the other is undergoing minor revisions.

As long as the submission is before September 1st, subsequent acceptance can choose between OA or non-OA. If the submission is after September 1st, subsequent acceptance will be fully OA, with APC payment.

Colleagues who have articles ready for submission or are planning to submit need to act quickly. Starting September 1, 2025, the magazine will implement full Open Access (OA) and author publication charges (APC) will be mandatory. Before this date, authors can still choose between OA and non-OA options.

I submitted two articles consecutively this year, without external review. However, they were rejected directly after editor evaluation, which made me sad! I thought I could continue the good luck from the previous article, which was accepted by the editor without any modifications after 8 months of external review! The requirements of the journal have been getting higher this year, almost catching up with PJ, JXB, and PCE. Hopefully, next year we can be included in the first tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Can PPB not recommend reviewers now?

Excuse me, how is it going back there? I suspect I have encountered the same disgusting editor as you.

As a non-OA top journal in the second district, the review speed is considered quite fast. The review comments came back in just one month. The reviewers asked for additional experimental data, which took a month to collect. After resubmitting the revised manuscript, only minor revisions were requested before acceptance. The Impact Factor of PPB has also remained stable above 6 in the past two years, and we hope to push it into the first district.

The first sci, to commemorate, was submitted in May of 23, rejected in the second round and resubmitted, rejected again at the end of the year. After making some improvements, it was submitted again in December of 24 and went online yesterday. The entire process improved my article, and I am grateful for the very professional advice given by the reviewer of another journal, which made my article more complete. Thanks to ppb, editors and reviewers, and I wish ppb continued success!!
